Anyone ever grow them in your gardens? Are they easy to grow, difficult,

have large root structures, so they might suck up space in the dirt.

Depending upon your climate they can be invasive. In addition they're
really hard to get rid of. Another thought on them is that in most people
they cause terrible flatulence and painful abdominal gas. You want some
roots? Come by the house and dig them up, been trying to root the !@#$%
things out for about ten years now.

Sorry, I've got enough of my own problems, don't need to be taking on
someone else's Well, since I'm about to get flooded with catnip, I might
as well toss some Sunchokes in there, turn my backyard into an invasive
species habitat - feral cats, catnip, sunchokes, strawberries, bermuda
grass, birch, I even have a new blackberry bush growing on the fenceline.


Don't think of it as invasive plants, think of it as wildlife habitat.
Apply for a large gubmint grant to improve the habitat and protect the
two-toed newt or something.
